Curious what it’s like to work here? Hear what our staff have to say!

David Gleason

Residential Direct Support Professional
Working in Residential is not like any other job. You build relationships and trust with the residents so it’s like leaving home to go to work to find you are just going to your second home. When I put a smile on one of the resident’s faces or make them laugh… Well then, my day is complete, and my job is done!

Katrina MacDonald

Assistant Residential Program Director

Coming to work is honestly the highlight of my day! I am so excited to see the guys at Mt. P. I’m also eager to be a part of the reason they smile. Residential has become my second home.

Billi Jo Pomeroy

Residential Direct Support Professional
I love working in Residential because it’s like my second home. Every day is a little different. When someone learns something that they’ve been working on it makes all our work worthwhile.

Terri Beers

House Manager (Formerly Life Coach V)

What I love about my job is the teamwork and sense of humor among my colleagues. Flexibility comes so easily for my team. I also love making a difference in a person’s life. Working here has helped me raise my son and daughter to be the wonderful adults they are.

DSP Appreciation Week

DSP Appreciation Week

Delarc was honored to participate in National Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) Appreciation Week recently.  Every year the second week of September, DSPs nationwide are the focus of this week-long celebration.  At Delarc, our DSPs work tirelessly to fulfill our mission, ensuring people we support live personally fulfilling lives.  While DSP’s are at the heart of this weeklong celebration, Delarc recognizes it takes an entire team of staff to ensure the success of our mission, so we didn’t let this opportunity pass by to say thank you to our entire team. This week we celebrated DSPs and all staff by showering them with daily gifts of appreciation.
